沐心泉休閒農場
🚩Geographical Location🧭
Located in the Mountain area of Xinshe District, Taichung City, there are many industrial roads and sudden sharp turns in the middle. If you don't pay attention to the navigation, it's easy to go the wrong way, and I felt it wasn't easy to find.
🪑About the Overall Atmosphere🎡
There were quite a few people when I arrived, and parking was located quite far down, after which you have to walk up to the ticket booth. After buying the ticket, you continue to walk up where there are many varieties of flowers along the way. When you reach the restaurant, you can see from the signboard beside it that different flowers bloom in different seasons. The overall structure seems to be built out of wood. After getting the menu at the counter, you can take a seat, then return to the counter to pay.
After eating, you can climb up the nearby path, with quite a few stairs, along which you can see hydrangeas and seasonal flowers.
💰About the Pricing💰
The admission fee is NT$200 per person, and children can receive free or half-price admission based on certain conditions. The admission ticket can be deducted from the meal by NT$100.

🍴About the Meals☕
The meals were quite average, with very little quantity of both vegetables and meat, and it was obvious that they were made from frozen ingredients. However, the milk hot pot was very fragrant and had a fresh sweet taste. My friend ordered the medicinal hot pot, which also had a decent broth. There was also a sizzled Indian curry pork chop, where the fried pork chop is drizzled with curry sauce and paired with a generous amount of shredded cabbage, making it not too greasy. The hibiscus tea served was a bit too sweet; I could only manage a few sips before I couldn't drink any more. The dessert was also very ordinary, some kind of jelly I didn’t recognize.
🤨Conclusion♥
The main purpose here seems to be to observe flowers and stroll around, with dining being secondary. The stairways of the path are lined with flowers, and I even encountered someone taking wedding photos, showing that the scenery here is quite nice. The most annoying thing is that no matter where you go, people are smoking, and in such a pleasant place, the smell of smoke is very obvious and bothersome.
